  1. I love this concept! What to wear to formal events in cold weather is a common challenge.

    I attended a wedding this fall and wore an outfit that could double for a winter ensemble. Check it out!

  2. I love the 2nd, but I can't resist the 3rd, so if I MUST choose one, then the 3rd is the winner!

  7. I have dress#2, I actually wore it to a wedding in the summer and it was comfortable and fun to dance in. I like how you accessorized it for winter :-)

  8. I love all the outfits! BUT, did you do any 'Cold Weather' outfits for people oh say, in the Midwest? lol The 30 degree weather and snow calls for a little more than a faux wrap sometimes :)

  9. Thanks everyone! This was a really fun feature to do. I love dressing up.

    Anonymous, I wore #2 in Boston in the dead of winter a few times. You just switch your heels for snow boots and put on a heavy coat when you're outsdie. Then when you get the wedding - voila! - you look like the picture. :-)

  10. I LOVE the idea of tying the halter straps into a bow in the front! Never would have thought of it, and it looks so chic! What a difference a small detail like that makes :) And the brooch is a perfect sparkly touch.
